Team Pilipinas recently showed its dominance against weaker South East Asian Rivals. By once again winning seaba. though the winning margins was not as high as the 2007 seaba and sea games, they still managed to win convincingly

Indonesia, the second placer has vastly improved their game, Even sticking out with TP in the first few minutes of the second quarter. A great feat for someone who did not send their real national team just their second best club team garuda bandung reinforced by other players from other teams.

The Games were played in inter barangay/ municipal court look alike. But even then we were treated for 4 days of extreme Pwnage.

Now that the warm up exercises has ended, it is now time for the actual challenge. Coach yeng now needs to match up his boys against El Khatib, Wright, Sun Yue, Orimo, Toroman's former poster boy Ehdadi and more.

Though this powerade rp team lacks practice and exhibition games compared to chot's team or the other countries, Yeng has the capacity to do wonders for any team and that wonder we need is at least a 3rd plact this august.

Woah Woah fight the Powah

makinilya
  • Listening to: "Libera me from hell" by Iwasaki Taku
  • Reading: Instruction Manual
  • Watching: Nothing
  • Playing: Deluxe Class TFTM Grindcore
Finally had the time to rest a bit and have a day off

Toycon

After a year of absence (Due to being the host of the event), I'll be joining the toycon contests in the photography and custom category. Hopefully I will finish my entries in time.

Photography

On the last few months, I've been finally been having the breaks outside of indoor photography. It was enjoyable last summer. But due to scheduling problems and weather, I havent had a shoot in quite a while. which in turn, makes me itch for it.

Printer woes

My printer is starting to annoy me. Everytime I try to repair one part of a printer (cartirdge, head, ink,) another part gets broken. Now its the power's turn.

Away

I'll be out of the country on June 17 and wont be back until the 29th. Please post all messages here as I wont bring a laptop and Even though I'll apply for roaming, I might change to a US Sim once I get there.

Mambobola!

A few nights ago this douchebag texted me, Like everyone, I get this on a semi regular basis. But for a change let's give this person the attention that he/she is whoring for:

mambobola

I wonder though, why do most text scammers that text me use the name "Vic?"

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class Skids Review

tftmskids


TFTM Revenge of the Fallen Autobot Skids

"Skids is the brother to the Autobot Mudflap. Mudflap is very hyperactive, while Skids believes himself to be the smarter of the two and tries to come across as mature, but nevertheless appears unable to keep quiet."

Photobucket

Of all the ROTF releases, this is the one I am awaiting the most. Not only because of the cool neon green paintjob, but also the yoda esque cuteness of this bayformer character. And yes, he is not insect like. More of ewok like. He also has a twin brother named mudflap.

This pair of twins could give the lamborghini brothers and the TFA jets a run for their money in the popularity game

Photobucket

Skids has a lot of kibble in the back, and it is hard to flip back the windshield kibble as stated in the manual.

His height is also disappointing as it is just as tall as an tfa activator. Maybe him being 11'4 short has something to so with it. Yao Ming and Nate Robinson standing on top of each other would logically be taller than this autobot.

Photobucket

Skids has 2 special features, the punching action and the movable armor. The movable armor shows detail in the chest area and is kind of cool. He has a bigger right hand while his brother has a bigger left.

But that's just it, no weapon or other gadget available.

Photobucket

The punching feature allows the hands to extend out. But not much as say... tftm stockade.

Photobucket


The transformation is a bit complicated, all the inner swivel and joints are a bit stiff to move therefore it is hard to compress it back to. vehicle mode. The good thing here is that the paint is so durable that it stays. there even with the amount of handling, fiddling and scratching to be done while transforming it back.

Whats also disappointing is that the instruction manual does not show where to place the crotch in alt mode.

Photobucket

Skids transforms to a chevrolet beat concept car, a compact hatchback car like a toyota echo or a honda jazz. This is the main reason why it looks small in vehicle mode when paired with the other ROTF Deluxe.


Pros
Cool Neon Green color and mint green body color
Detailed head
Cool Hands
great decal job
will be better than the ice cream truck

Cons

Hard to transform
Extremely disappointing height
Lots of back kibble

Photobucket

Overall 6/10

Final verdict:
Get the robot replica or wait for the human alliance. At least that one has megan fox and arcee.
